"[member name removed], Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Call on us if you have any questions."
The problem we had is with the inaccuracies that exhibit ignorance or laziness on the part of the inspector when compiling the report.
His report included statements that there was creosote built-up in flue and chimneys for both fireplaces and both needed to be cleaned by a professional. Before hiring the professional to come out, I decided to take a closer look. My inspection revealed that one chimney had ZERO build-up at all and the other had such a thin coat of soot/creosote as to be less than trivial (less than 1/16" when you need at least 1/8" before a cleaning is called for). The inspector should know the difference between a little soot and creosote build-up. Soot=normal, Cresote more than 1/8" = maybe needs cleaning. Fortunately I didn't trust the A-Action report and dodged that totally unnecessary expense.
His report also stated that the HVAC blowers were dirty and needed to be professionally serviced. We hired a professional to service and possibly clean the blowers and he discovered that the blowers were in fact nearly pristine in their cleanliness and it was only the vent/plenum (the part before the air filter where you expect to see dust) was dusty. Dirty plenum = normal. Dirty blower = not good. Total waste of money to bring out the professional his report stated as "needed". There is a big difference between a blower and a plenum and the inspector should have known and used the correct term. Was it laziness or ignorance? I don't care which.
Thank you A-Action for wasting my time and money following up on inaccurate knee-jerk statements included in a report that do not match the actual property conditions. I don't expect perfection, but please realize that overstating a deficiency when all you really see is a little dust or soot doesn't cover your a**, it kicks ours.
Stay away from A-Action if accuracy matters to you. Hire them if you want to see invented deficiencies on your report.
"I'm thrilled that Mr. [member name removed] opened his review above with the following statements "The technician’s demeanor and thoroughness was very good. The report was detailed and covered all details and deficiencies regardless of whether they were trivial or important. In most regards the service was acceptable..." As a home inspector, our job is to identify defects and/or deficiencies as well as safety issues in the home we are inspecting. As part of a complete home inspection we evaluate the fireplace and the HVAC system(s). Please know that we have conducted thousands of home inspections that have fireplaces and HVAC systems and our inspectors understand completely the issues associated with them. At the time of the inspection are inspector felt that the chimneys needed to be cleaned and that's why he wrote that in the report. Please know that during the course of the inspection we do not measure the creosote buildup in the chimney flues. If the inspector thinks the flue needs to be cleaned, then they write that comment in the report. The same is true for the blower motor in the HVAC system. We have no idea when the last time it was serviced and it appeared that it needed it at the time of the inspection and that's why we wrote what we did. Please know that the recommendations in the report are just that, recommendations! Whether the home buyer or home seller acts on the recommendations is outside the scope of the home inspection. Our job is to report what we see at the time of the inspection and report our findings in writing to the home buyer. I'm disappointed that Mr. [member name removed] never called our office to discuss these alleged report writing discrepancies. We would've been delighted to have come back out to the property and evaluate the issues that Mr. [member name removed] has written about. These are very minor issues and we would've been glad to work with him to resolve these as needed. But to say that our home inspector is unknowledgeable or lazy and to stay away from A-Action if accuracy matters to you is disingenuous because Mr. [member name removed] opened his review with this statement: "The technician’s demeanor and thoroughness was very good. The report was detailed and covered all details and deficiencies regardless of whether they were trivial or important." Don't be fooled by this angry review, A-Action Home Inspection Group has been serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area for over 20-years and we have thousands of completely satisfied clients. You can expect a Five-Star Experience from our team on all inspections, so give us a call today at 817-467-0213 or 972-572-4500. We look forward to the opportunity of providing a Five-Star Experience for you as well! Brian Murphy, President"
"Thank you (member name removed) for taking the time to let us know how we are doing! Please make sure and let us know if you have any questions once you are all moved in. Thank you again, Katie Goggans"
"[member name removed]Thank you for the information. I wanted to make sure that you received your invoice as it was in the email that you received with your report. We used to print the inspections onsite yet in an effort to keep our cost comparable to others have automated the report delivery. The reports all are sent to the office where we review them all prior to sending out to make sure that we have all the t's crossed and i's dotted. Just another effort on our part to make sure the product that you receive from us is Top Quality! Thank you again for the review. Katie Goggans"
